#3646: Unable to join the Yahoo! Italian chat rooms

Reporter:  mous16  |       Owner:  marv             
    Type:  defect  |      Status:  new              
Priority:  minor   |   Component:  Yahoo!           
 Version:  2.2.1   |    Keywords:  Chat Verification
 Pending:  0       |  
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
 Using Pidgin 2.2.1, installed with apt, package version
 "1:2.2.1-0debuntu1", on Ubuntu feisty fawn.
 Nickname:"pidgin_dbg". Password:"exgaim". All account option are default
 except for "Chat room language:" that is set to "it".
 This parameter is to have the room list of Italian Yahoo! chat rooms.
 When I enter in a chat room, for example Meteo:1 (Scienze -> Meteo), in
 the room there are only Yahoo (a bot) and I. Appear in the chat windows
 this message: "
 (<time>) To help prevent spam and bots from disrupting your Yahoo! chat
 experience, please click here to verify your account (this link will open
 a new web browser window). This step is required before you can begin
 chatting.

 "
 I click on the link, and Firefox open a Yahoo! web page, where I've to do
 a Chat Room Verification, by enter the characters shown in a box.
 When I click "Submit", the web page returns an OK message, but appers a
 Pidgin windows without title that report:"Impossibile entrare nella chat
 Errore sconosciuto. Potrebbe essere necessario disconnettersi ed aspettare
 cinque minuti prima di poter entrare nuovamente nella chat room" (in
 English it's something like: "Not possible join the chat room. Unknown
 error. May be necessary disconnect and wait five minutes before can rejoin
 the room")

 I've notice that, also if the room list is the Italian one, the message in
 chat room and the page of verification are in English.
 It's possible that Pidgin "say" to the server that I'm a u.s. user, so it
 give me a link to make the authentication for a u.s. room, that doesn't
 exist (because it's a Italian one), and so i've an error?

 Attached the debug log and .purle/ dir used for the debug.
 The debug end whit the exit from the room and the exit from pidgin. The
 error is at 18:35:38: "yahoo: Yahoo Service: 0x98 Status: -1".
